You have a home that is filled with furniture, clothes and other belongings. You worked many long years to build up equity in your home. Your home is the biggest investment you will make in your life. How do you protect that investment? If there is a fire and everything you own is lost, what can you do? In order to avoid winding up with nothing, you need to buy homeowners insurance as soon as you buy your home.
If you are buying a new home, and you are getting a mortgage, then you have no choice but to buy homeowners insurance. The mortgage company or bank will make you buy homeowners insurance as part of the agreement to lend you money. They don’t want to lend money on a home that could possibly burn down. If your house burns and you have no insurance, then you and the bank would both be on the losing end. The bank can’t stay in business losing money.
If you are paying cash for a home, you should still buy homeowners insurance. Once you know you are going to close on your home, get in touch with an insurance agent. If the company you deal with for car insurance also sells homeowners insurance, that is a good place to start. Have them give you an estimate for what the policy will cost. Get at lest two more estimates from other insurance companies.
An insurance agent will ride by and look at your home from the outside, and most likely take a few photos of the house. You will have to provide them information on your personal goods and from there a quote will be worked out. Once he gets all the necessary information the agent will come up with the annual cost. There are variables that also come into play, such as how far your house is from the fire department or if there is a fire hydrant close to your home.
Any type of insurance is a necessity, but homeowners insurance is the best insurance investment you can make. Buy homeowners insurance and protect your property and you investment. Don’t get caught uninsured
